is OUR COUNTY BEING BOMBED
WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE

The session laws recently received
show that our legislature gave the
county commissioners power to bond
our county for $4,000 - without any
vote of the people, and it is intimated
that the preliminary steps have been
taken, and that soon after the Novem-
Der election Jerauld county will be
loaded with a bonded debt Of $4,000
1t does not appear that the taxpayers
are to have anything to say in this mat
ter, except to pay the taxes.
/ Such action is certainly Un-Ameri-
can - it cannot be constitutional. No
people can under our laws be tied up
with bonds and mortgages without
their consent Our history shows that
our people revolted some over a humid
red year ago on account of taxation
without representation, and what is
bonding and mortgaging us without
vote, but another way to crush out the
people in the interest Of capital?

EDITOR HERALD:

EDITOR l1EKALD.
The Alpena Journal is advocating a
mass-ccnvention, to choose q commit
tee to examine into and report the act
ual condition Of our county finances,
and the past and present management
Of county affairs. This course has been
discussed by many citizens for more
than a year, but the general opinion
has been that such a convention would
be controlled by interested parties, and
the wishes Of the taxpayers disregard
ed. It there is to be mass-convention
it will no doubt be the proper course to
call on the commissioners to request
the territorial auditor or examiner to
send a competent deputy to make full
and complete examination and report,
also the territorial sup't Of schools to
do the same, and show by these two re-
ports the actual condition of our coun-
! ty and school funds. Such a report
would be Of far more value than if
made by any committee Of citizens
But would the commissioners pay any
attention to such wishes OF a massecon-
vention? My opinion is, they would
not, and it really looks as it they do aot
dare to have a full, plain statement
made, or make it themselves, as their
oaths require them to do.
AS to the first board of commission
ers, l will guarantee to give good
and sufficient bond to pay the expenses
OF a full and impartial examination and
report as to their official conduct, il
there is any reliable evidence to show
they did not DO their duty in accord
ance with their oaths and the statutes
Of Dakota.

A WARNING DREAM.
1t Was the Means of Saving Lady from
Probably Fatal Accident.

1t Was the Means of Saving Lady from
Probably Fatal Accident.
The following story is told as true by Mrs.
Lucy H. Hooper: A lady was travelling in
Europe, and while staying in London she
dreamed one night that she was visiting
prominent points of interest in that city in
regular tourist fashion. But wherever she
went she was met by a peculiar-iooking man
who invariably asked her the same question,
care you ready?' Go where she would, and
do as she liked, in every scene in her dream
she met the same man, and he always asked
her his eyer-recurring question. She was
considerably impressed by this dream and
remarked to the lady to whom she related it
that she never would forget the face of the
man that had sopersistently appeared before
her.
Time went on, she returned to the United
States, and went to pay visit to one of the
large cities, stopping at the most noted hotel
in the place. She was lodged on one of the
upper floors, and went down stairs to break
fast the morning after her arrival. At the
conclusion of her repast she went to the
elevator and entered it, with the purpose of
returning to her room. She was the only
person in the elevator and the man in charge
Of it. before starting it, turned to her with
the question, care you ready?' Struck by
these words she looked at the man and in
stantly recognized the hero of her singular
dream. She was seized at once with vague
and causeless terror, and cried, Let me out
YOU must let me out' The elevator beng
already in motion no release was possible till
she reached the first floor. She hurried out
Of it and closed the door, the man started it
to descend, and instantly the elevator and its
unfortunate guide fell with crash to the eel
lar The poor man was instantly killed, and
the strange dream had probably saved the
dreamer from similar fate.-Philadelphia

STEAMSHIP LINES.
why the Government Should Aid in Estab-
fishing Them.

European nations are so impressed
with the Importance to commerce OF
prompt and regular communications
with other countries that it is regarded
as the duty of the government to assist
the establishment of steamship lines. 1t
is the policy of Germany, France and
England to encourage such enterprise by
making liberal mail contracts. At pres
ent there is pending in the En-
glish Parliament a proposition to
grant $225,000 a year for monthly
mail service from Vancouver, British
Columbia, to Japan and China, so as to
establish new trade-route to the East
via the Pacific railway. The secretary
to the treasury has made contract
granting $1,325,O00 year to the PENN
sular and Oriental Steamship Company
for the conveyance of the East India and
China mails, which has been submitted
to Parliament for approval The Cana
dian Pacific subsidy has been brought
forward as an amendment to the resolu-
ton approving the Peninsular and Orien-
tai contract.
The only difficulty about the matter,
it seems, is caused by resentment at the
action of Canada in raising its duties on
iron and steel. The English newspapers,
while condemning Canada's protective
policy, generally favor the subsidy. As
the St. James Gazette puts it, "the COM
mercial, postal and strategical advan-
tages are imperial rather than Cana
dian" The prospect is that the subsidy
will eventually be granted. Meanwhile
the Australian colonies have offered to
subsidize direct cable from Vancouver
to their quarter of the South Pacific,
and the indications are that the Cana
dian-Pacific route will be made an i'm.
portant highway of trade between Eu-
rope and Asia.
The subject is attracting much atten-
tion in Germany. Professor Lorenz Won
Stein, writing in the Tossische Zestung, a
leading organ of the German railway
and shipping interests, says: England
as quietly organized great trade-route
for herself, and has taken a significant
step toward the development of the
English colonial empire, which thus en-
ters upon a new period of far-reaching
commercial influence and power. The
railway is simply the initial portion of
the scheme. 1t cannot be self-support-
ing alone, neither is it expected to be.
But if, starting from the railway as the
basis or fundamental factor of the project,
they add to it steamship service on the
Pacific ocean from Vancouver, the result
is that the distance from England to
Japan, China, and partly also to the East
Indies, will be shorter than by any other
route"
The matter is also likely to receive
consideration from the next Congress.
The Shipping League, which has been
organized in aid of policy of govern
ment encouragement to shipping inter-
ests, has been active and has developed
much strength, particularly in the South.
An energetic effort will doubtless be
made to induce the government to make
liberal mail contracts with American
steamship companies.

expression Of his face showed that he
had lost all hope. Not one of the
endless stream of shoppers and other
passers-by seemed SO much as to look
at him.

New Orleans City Item.
1t is a matter of surprise that IN the
long drawn out aud weary campaign
for reform, the "reform" party has
failed to specify single reform that it
expects to make or any plan for the
betterment of the State that il intends
to follow. II there have been any
statemanIke utterances from the plat
form, they have not appeared in print
and if the reformers have any other
policy than that of replacing the ''ins"
with the "outs," they have signally
failed to make il known to the people
at large.
There have been two isaues--if Is
sues they can be caIled-kept pTomi-
nentIy before the people. Tho one is

voted to discussing the question

gested the attack on Packard's Su

ton of this problem could have on

ernment for the next four years is too
perplexing for the grasp Of finite
